LEAVE FOR EXAMINATIONS

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day

The Registrar of the University of New Zealand states that he has now been definitely advised by the Navy, Army and Air Departments ttiat, wherever suitable arrangements can be made, students who are in training at various centres under the Defence Department will be granted special leave for the purpose of. taking the examinations. fOr which they have entered. •

Where the ordinary examination hall cannot readily ,be reached, by the candidates, the university will endeavour to make special arrangements. Students who have been called up are strongly advised to take advantage of this possibility as, even though there studies have been prejudicially affected-, their examination work will then be recorded.

It is hoped that a clause ■ in the Statutes Amendment Bill now being considered will provide that the Senate may make certain concessions to students engaged in war service.

The registrar adds: “All students who are called up should therefore regard it as urgent that, they at once report 'their cases, if they have not already done so, both to the University of New Zealand and to the university college to which they may be attached.”
